This is not common for a lung cancer patient. This sounds more like an abscess. Is it painful, tender, inflamed? Too much missing information here. His doctor should be telling you and your husband what this is. We can't see the lesion or examine this area of his back. If this grew to "orange size" in a week or two, it is not likely to be malignant.
